Tips for naming a character
- Match the sound to the character: soft sounds for gentle friends, harder sounds for fierce ones.
- Keep it easy for a child to say and remember.
- Let the child choose from a shortlist; ownership makes the story theirs.
- A name can hint at a trait: 'Ember' for a warm little dragon.
